Misconfigurations aren’t simply inconvenient errors but serious security threats. According to Gartner, 99% of all firewall breaches will be caused by misconfigurations by 2020 and misconfigurations made OWASP’s latest list of Top 10 most critical web application security risks.

A single change to a network device can have far-reaching effects on your business and create security holes for cybercriminals, impact your regulatory audit, and even cause costly outages that bring your business to a standstill! This is true whether on-premise or in the cloud.

In this webinar, Avivi will present several examples of common misconfigurations, including device changes, business application connectivity changes, and data center migrations. He will also reveal specific techniques to help you avoid misconfigurations.

Watch the webinar to learn how to:

•Monitor cloud services to take a proactive stance against misconfigurations
•Understand and map your entire network before you make a change
•Understand the impact of changes to your entire hybrid network
•Proactively assess the impact of a change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole
•Use network management automation to avoid common misconfigurations
•Avoid common mistakes when making changes to your network security devices

IT must deliver more, faster. Yet as cyber-attacks increase in volume and sophistication, IT groups are finding themselves ill-equipped to secure their networks and maintain compliance while supporting business productivity. In this era of digital transformation, managing security across complex enterprise networks presents huge challenges. Automation will ease the pressure.

In this technical webinar, Kyle Wickert, the Worldwide Strategic Architect at AlgoSec, shares tips and best practices to help you select the right security policy management solution that will help drive business agility while ensuring security and compliance.

Key topics include:
- Intelligent automation is more than just adding policies
- Letting a business-centric approach take the lead
- Extracting the best from existing automation processes and creating new ones
- Managing it all together: cloud, SDN and on-premise

DevOps methodologies enable agile application development and rapid delivery. However, sometimes network security is an afterthought, leading to bottlenecks before release and security breaches after.

When it comes to network connectivity, such as whenever a new application needs to connect to an external resource, the continuous delivery process grinds to a halt. Approving and implementing network changes could stall the application provisioning for weeks. The application developer needs to open change requests and wait for approvals, breaking the continuous delivery cycle. As a result, security is in the uncomfortable position of being a bottleneck and an impediment to innovation.

In this webinar, Omer Ganot, AlgoSec’s Product Manager will describe how to seamlessly integrate network security into DevOps, and how the ‘Connectivity as Code’ approach can be implemented to overcome these challenges.

This webinar will teach you how to:
• Weave network security changes into the existing CI/CD pipeline to fully automate the application
delivery process
• Seamlessly manage network connectivity as part of the DevOps process for secure, faster, more
agile and problem-free application delivery
• Ensure continuous compliance and auditability throughout the application delivery process
• Get clearly documented application connectivity requirements which help ensure business
continuity
• Bridge the gap between application developers and network security throughout the entire
application lifecycle

Business application deployments and changes require IT, networking and security teams to be more agile than ever before.
But frequently, this agility comes at the expense of security and compliance and enables network breaches and cyber-attacks.

In this webinar, Yitzy Tannenbaum, Product Marketing Manager at AlgoSec, will cover how network security policy automation helps you avoid this conflict.

In today’s complex and dynamic environment with growing digital business demands, IT often struggles to gain adequate visibility and control, and to ensure compliance with security policies and regulatory guidelines. Effective security policy management that accommodates the dynamic nature of today’s organizations is a key challenge for many IT departments.

New business applications are added, changed or removed every day, forcing implementation of complex, time-consuming network security changes. Migrating business applications to the cloud adds additional complexities, such as understanding the network connectivity of each application prior to deployment, provisioning the relevant firewalls and routers in the cloud, and then migrating and adjusting existing network connectivity to support them.

In this webinar, Yoni Geva, Product Manager at AlgoSec will present:

• Innovative application-discovery technologies
• Application-centric use cases, including policy cleanup and documentation
• How to simplify and accelerate rule recertification through automation
• How to prevent breaches by associating vulnerabilities to business applications and
firewall rules
• How to ensure ongoing compliance and audit-readiness

Cloud computing provides improved security, agility and flexibility. However, integrating this new service into legacy IT environments comes with great concern.

The Cloud Security Alliance has recently surveyed over 700 IT and network security professionals from around the globe on security challenges in cloud environments. In this research, security, data loss and compliance were identified as the top 3 concerns when moving to the cloud. In the face of increasingly complex environments, cloud visibility and expertise are essential to ensuring a manageable, secure and fluent transition to a native cloud, hybrid or multi-cloud environment.

In this webinar Yitzy Tannenbaum, Product Marketing Manager at AlgoSec will review and analyze the findings from the new CSA report “Cloud Security Complexity: Challenges in Managing Security in Native Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments”, including:

• Types of cloud platforms being used by companies
• Common challenges faced by companies when moving workloads to the cloud

Firewall rules must be reviewed and recertified regularly for an organization to stay secure, ensure continuous compliance and gain the optimal firewall performance. Firewall rules which are out of date, unused or unnecessary should be removed, as firewall bloat creates gaps in your security posture, causes compliance violations, and decreases firewall performance.

However, manual firewall rule recertification is complex, time-consuming and prone to errors.

Join Asher Benbenisty, AlgoSec’s Director of Product Marketing, on a special webinar introducing an application-centric approach to firewall recertification.

In this webinar Asher will cover:
• Why it is important to regularly review and recertify your firewall rules
• How to use application connectivity for firewall rule recertification

The way we consume content has greatly evolved throughout the years - from text-only collateral to using applications that centralize the content and make it easier to access. However, the number of business applications is rapidly growing, ultimately causing organizations to suffer from “app fatigue”.

Network security stakeholders can benefit from such a shift in content consumption by taking a conversational approach with ChatOps.

Good old perimeter security, enforced by traditional firewall protection, is now combined with distributed firewalls, public cloud native security controls and third-party security services. The shared-responsibility security model means that IT organizations need to assume accountability for the data and overall security posture, as this is not exclusively the cloud providers’ responsibility.

Today, more than ever, enterprise security teams are challenged to stretch their tried-and-true security policies to their extended deployments. They lack visibility across this growing estate, they can’t keep up with DevOps, and they are unable to properly analyze risk. They need integrated security policy management solutions for hybrid-cloud environments.

Join Yonatan Klein, Director of Product Management at AlgoSec to learn how to take advantage of all the benefits of cloud and virtual deployments while maintaining your current security fundamentals.

Financial institutions are forced to invest heavily in digital transformation to gain a competitive edge, especially with customer-facing technology innovations. However, delivery often trails behind the need. New apps are developed, but network security policy management is often perceived as holding up progress, impeded by manual change-management processes, growing compliance requirements and never-ending audits.

What is the future of cyber warfare and how does it impact enterprise security? While the world has yet to see a cyber battle between AI systems, experts predict this might be on the horizon in the next three to five years.

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, companies of all sizes are struggling to stay secure. Regardless of how many different firewalls you use, it’s merely a matter of time until a threat gets through. To prevent serious breaches, networks must be internally segmented to stop hackers moving freely inside the network and exfiltrating data – but network segmentation must be designed and managed correctly if it’s to be successful. This webinar will examine how to build a micro-segmentation strategy that truly protect your organization’s valuables.

The growing body of regulations and standards forces enterprises to put considerable emphasis on compliance verified by ad hoc and regular auditing of security policies and controls. While regulatory and internal audits entail a wide range of security checks, network firewalls are featured prominently as they are the first line of defense of the enterprise network.

Typical networks might include tens or hundreds of firewalls from multiple vendors running thousands of rules. Auditing firewalls for compliance is becoming more complex and demanding all the time.

•Documentation of current rules and their evolution of changes is lacking
•Time and resources required to find, organize and inspect all the firewall rules to determine the level of compliance is exorbitant and growing

It’s time to adopt auditing’s best practices to maintain continuous compliance. Join us in this webinar to discover the Firewall Audit Checklist, the 6 best practices that will ensure successful audits and full compliance. By adopting these best practices, security teams will significantly improve their network’s security posture and reduce the pain of ensuring compliance with regulations, industry standards and corporate policies.
